Colour: Carapace with two moderately dark shell-like areas laterally; opisthosoma, dorsally dark, mottled with long ovoid paired pallid regions flanking poorly defined medial dark band; ventrally faintly discernible mottling on edges; femora basally strongly mottled fading gradually to patella. Eyes: All similar, small; ALE clearly smallest. Posterior row more or less overlapping; PME and PLE inner edges well separated. Legs moderately long. Spines: Femora pv1 on I–IV; tibia I, II p1r0 on I, II; palp cymbium 0. Palp: cymbial hairs all similar; retrobasally cymbium with unmodified, narrow edge; probasal edge extended laterally with distinctly squared edge forming rounded lobe; ventral plate a long lobe apically with short, rounded hook, dorsal plate acute; RTA distal; short, directed laterally; two plates sandwiching unsclerotised zone; ventral plate a long lobe apically with short rounded, hook, dorsal plate acute; embolus central, directed transversely prolateral. Distribution. Known only from South Australia but probably also found nearby in Victoria.
